Genshin Impact: My Villain System Isn't Working Properly

When Eula rapidly approached the Pyroslinger, the gunner wasn't worried at all, since he was on a hilichurl watchtower and had a teammate below.

He fired several more shots in succession, but they were all dodged by Eula.

Seeing Eula approaching step by step, the Anemoboxer below also cracked his knuckles, intending to intercept Eula.

However, just as he was about to move, he found his feet frozen solid.

"When did this happen?!"

Jiang Ning slowly withdrew the Cryo element from his hand.

"One-on-one is more fair."

Eula glanced at Jiang Ning, moving even faster, and in two or three flashes appeared beside the Pyroslinger. Her greatsword slammed down, instantly knocking out the Fatui member.

"Damn it!"

The Anemoboxer was furious.

But he quickly met the same fate as his companion.

After everything settled, Eula came to stand before Jiang Ning and Amber.

"Not bad skills."

Jiang Ning said.

Eula crossed her arms, her cute little nose wrinkled, and her clear voice rang out:

"Suddenly praising someone you've just met, and arbitrarily helping out, I'll remember this grudge."

"Huh?"

Jiang Ning was confused. What's this sister's deal, holding grudges right from the first meeting?

Amber quickly explained: "Don't misunderstand, Jiang Ning! This is just how Eula talks, but she's not a bad person, she's just tough on the outside."

"Hey! Amber!"

Eula was very dissatisfied.

"Alright, alright, Eula, this is Jiang Ning, a member of the Liyue delegation. Jiang Ning, this is the Eula you were looking for."

Eula sized up Jiang Ning. From Liyue, huh... nice face, good strength, and so young, with endless potential.

Eula asked: "So, what business do you have with this Lawrence sinner?"

Jiang Ning said: "Um, thank you very much for saving my senior sister Yanfei. She asked me to bring you some thank-you gifts and a letter."

Eula was somewhat surprised, and her eyes showed more friendliness:

"Yanfei? Is she doing well? Why didn't she come herself... ahem, I mean, it's good that she's okay."

Jiang Ning said: "Senior sister is doing fine, just that she's been quite busy, so she asked me to make the trip."

"Indeed, Yanfei is a great lawyer, being busy is normal... But what about you? Coming to find a sinner like me, aren't you afraid of Mondstadt people gossiping?"

Eula said.

Amber quickly translated: "Eula means she's worried about you, concerned that you might face prejudice from Mondstadt people because of her."

"Amber! I'm really getting angry now!"

Eula looked quite upset.

Amber scratched her head embarrassedly.

It's just that, it's rare to find someone who doesn't have prejudice against Eula, and with Yanfei's connection, they might become friends, so Amber cared a bit more...

Jiang Ning said: "Not at all. I'm from Liyue, why should I care what Mondstadt people think? Besides, as long as Acting Grand Master Jean and the others don't treat you differently, it's fine."

Eula frowned: "Don't you know what the Lawrence family's situation is?"

Jiang Ning shook his head: "I know. During old Mondstadt, they were the ruling class, slave owners, representative of a tyrannical family, did many bad things..."

"Then why do you still..."

Jiang Ning said: "But what does that have to do with you? Are you a slave owner or something? Being born into the family wasn't your fault, and besides, my first impression of you is quite good."

Eula pursed her lips, and her ears hidden under her blue hair turned slightly red.

"Hmph, to say such things... I'll remember this grudge."

Jiang Ning smiled kindly.

After getting used to it, he felt that this big sister's verbal tic was quite interesting.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Eula... may I call you that? These are the things senior sister asked me to give you - some Liyue specialties like Glaze Lily, Pure Heart, and Silk Flower. They can be used as medicine, decorations, or even in cooking..."

Jiang Ning took out the items one by one and handed them to Eula.

Of course, there was also Yanfei's letter.

"Thank Yanfei for me, and if she's not too busy, tell her to come visit Mondstadt."

Eula said.

"Yes, I'll definitely convey your message."

Jiang Ning nodded.

Eula continued: "So, why was there such urgency to call me back?"

Amber said: "Um, a Fatui Harbinger has arrived, and right now Jean is short on available personnel, so she called us all back."

Eula was dissatisfied: "What are all those knights in Mondstadt doing? Slacking off?"

Amber said: "Well, that's..."

She also knew what the situation was like with those people in Mondstadt.

Eula sighed: "Never mind, since they called me back... I'll help Jean out."

Despite being from the Lawrence family, Eula and Jean had quite a good relationship.

Jiang Ning nodded in strong agreement. Eula was right.

Weren't they all just slacking off? The gate guards were dozing off, some were playing hooky, and even the Knights of Favonius on patrol would find a spot to sunbathe and sleep.

These past few days, Jiang Ning had seen too many similar situations.

While discussing matters with Jean, civilians could even barge in, and not even for important matters - they actually asked the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius to find lost cats and dogs??

Though Jiang Ning didn't fully understand, he was deeply shocked.

Mondstadt was surely doomed.

What was even more ridiculous was that Jean actually went to help look after finishing their discussion.

If Jiang Ning were Jean, he would have slapped them already.

Spoiling them like this - go find it yourself, such a small matter and you have to trouble the Knights... At least post a commission if you really can't handle it.

Is this what freedom means in Mondstadt? It's quite something indeed.

[That's why I said, Host, you should have intervened in governance earlier. Look what Mondstadt has become?]

The system said.

Jiang Ning quietly said: "When the time is right, I might want to do something interesting."

[Yay.]

The system prepared to watch the show.

"Let's take these two Fatui members back. Hmph, attacking Knights of Favonius on Mondstadt territory and moving against the Liyue delegation, they're really bold."

Eula said.

Jiang Ning said: "We can take them back, but don't get your hopes up. Similar things happened in Liyue before - the Fatui would insist these people had already been dismissed or were just temporary workers, telling Liyue to handle them as they pleased, basically treating them as disposable pawns."

"What about intelligence? Can't we get any information out of them?"

Eula frowned.

Jiang Ning said: "What are you thinking? These are just small fry, what intelligence would they know..."

Eula was somewhat frustrated: "Never mind, let's take them back first."

Jiang Ning said: "Wait a moment... Is that a Windwheel Mushroom?"

Jiang Ning spotted a mushroom on a nearby tree and asked.

Amber said: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, just that a friend asked me to bring back some Mondstadt-specific ingredients. I even posted a commission at the Adventurers' Guild."

"Things like Valberries, Wolfhook, Windwheel Mushrooms... even Dandelions are needed."

Along with the ingredients he'd collected while wandering in the wild, it should be enough. He had a room in the Serenitea Pot specifically for storing ingredients.

"Oh, I see... There are lots of Windwheel Mushrooms in Springvale, we can help you collect them later."

Amber said.

"Thank you... Let's go to Springvale then."

Jiang Ning said.

Eula said: "You go ahead, I still need to take these two Fatui members back."

Jiang Ning said: "That's simple. The Knights of Favonius must have some kind of signal system, right? Can you call some people over?"

Amber said: "There are knights patrolling nearby... but what if they escape?"

Jiang Ning said: "That's simple."

Saying this, he took out a rope with
